    Small Cell Lymphoma (recently Diagnosed Kitty)

    I wish that I had read more about a raw diet for cats years ago. Yes, maybe sometime later we can explore that option. Thanks again.

    Small Cell Lymphoma (recently Diagnosed Kitty)

    Are the freeze dried treats raw? His vet has told me not to feed him anything raw while he's on chemo and pred. I'm trying not to give him more than 1/8 of a teaspoon per day of the nutritional yeast. Thanks for alerting me to the uric acid problem. Maybe he will be satisfied with just the...

    Small Cell Lymphoma (recently Diagnosed Kitty)

    Okay, so I've looked through the ingredients on a lot of the food that is out there. Ginger can't have poultry, fish, beef, or any of the gums (thickeners), so my only options are to continue with the NV LID rabbit that he doesn't seem to like much right now. His intestines have been so...

    Small Cell Lymphoma (recently Diagnosed Kitty)

    Ginger is still doing well, but he doesn't want to consume Nature's Variety LID rabbit anymore. This is the food that really has helped him through his illness. I've purchased the NV regular rabbit, which he likes a little more, but it has some ingredients that I don't like for him. I need...

    Concerned Cat Mom

    Those symptoms could be related to so many different issues. Is he being treated for the IBD? If he hasn't been to the vet lately, then an examination and at least blood work should be done.

    Surviving A Urethral Blockage

    My kitty had a blockage many years ago, and the ER doctor told us to get him off dry food. It took some time, but eventually we got him to eat wet food and weaned him completely off dry. He hasn't had a blockage since.

    Small Cell Lymphoma (recently Diagnosed Kitty)

    Ginger is doing well after his third ultrasound and monthly blood work. The last ultrasound (three months ago) showed great improvement, and the most recent one this month was even better. The oncologist reduced his leukeran and prednisolone to twice per week. He still gets a monthly B12...

    I Think My Cat Suffered On High Quality Foods

    Yes, very dark stools. We only feed him wet. I remember at first being concerned that that Ginger was bleeding, but during that time, his stool was also tested. No blood, and the stools continued to be dark. Recently, his stool has occasionally been lighter. Not sure why, possibly different...

    I Think My Cat Suffered On High Quality Foods

    I'm also glad that you found food that works for your kitty. Mine was just the opposite. We had to feed him higher quality wet food that wasn't chicken or fish and had no guar gum, carrageenan or other type of gum in the ingredients. He's undergoing treatment for small cell lymphoma, and...

    Small Cell Lymphoma (recently Diagnosed Kitty)

    Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about Truffles. You did your best with a very, very difficult decision. I'm sure she was grateful to have such a caring owner/friend. I wish you well. Thanks for your kind and positive wishes for Ginger.

    Cat Litter On A Budget - 4 Cats, Jumbo Boxes!!

    We use wood pellets without additives that you buy from a Home Depot or Lowe's. Approximately $5 for 40 lbs. There isn't an odor problem, but we only have one cat. He is currently being treated for small cell lymphoma, so we wanted to provide him litter that wouldn't cause inflammation. The...

    Small Cell Lymphoma (recently Diagnosed Kitty)

    @cookiebeast I'm so very sorry that Truffles is going through this, and I can really feel your pain. You are an incredible mom to Truffles, and you will know what is best for her. I'm sure of that. I don't know of similar experiences with large cell lymphoma, so I realize that I'm not much...

    Small Cell Lymphoma (recently Diagnosed Kitty)

    I'm saddened to hear that Truffles' illness has gotten progressively worse and that she is in so much pain. Wow, it really escalated quickly. If I'm not mistaken, Truffles was diagnosed with small cell not that long ago. What method was originally used to diagnose the small cell? You are...

    Small Cell Lymphoma (recently Diagnosed Kitty)

    Sorry Truffles had a rough day. On occasion, Ginger throws up after using the litter box. In Ginger's case, it's from straining. In the beginning of treatment, this was happening more. If he hadn't eaten just before using the litter box, he would throw up saliva. If he had a couple of bites...

    Small Cell Lymphoma (recently Diagnosed Kitty)

    @cookiebeast Is your kitty eating? I saw your question about Cerenia so I was concerned that her eating hasn't picked up more.
